Warframe News and Info

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Well...

New update landed.

And I'm not going to say anything on the Veilbreaker quest itself....

But there's something that unlocks afterwards....

Spoiler

Archon Hunts, which are basically Sorties using Arbitration rules and high Steel Path levels. Boreal was the first up and... I swear I was more useful in that fight dead than alive as I could figure out the weak points and actually relay them to the team.

I do not like the changes so far. I had fun playing survival but now ammo is scarce and enemies seem to be hitting harder (or my frame and mods were nerfed).

Haven't played the new game mode yet but I hope it makes up for things...

On one hand I can get the ammo rework as I've been around in WF since 2013 and it had very much settled into a spot where barring a handful of weapons (like the Boar Prime which ate ammunition like an assault rifle but max'd and recovered like a shotgun) you... never really had to worry unless you were doing something like an Eidolon Triad or Endless Disruption or something. Because there was always "enough".

But on the other hand is that really a problem in an action third-person shooter?

So....

Looks like Prime Resurgence is coming back starting on Wednesday. This time it's outright replacing Prime Vault.

I.... got most of what I wanted during the limited-time version of the event. Truth be told, I'll be more interested when Nezha Prime's goodies make into Prime Resurgence as that's straight-up got a prime Ephemera.

Would you mind helping to explain what this even is? I looked it up on the wiki but I'm still confused.

I know what vaulted items means. They take things off the market, it increases value and essentially makes room for new items to be pumped out.

But are they making it so you can buy these things before they disappear? Or are they bringing back old stuff temporarily and then closing it again? I'm confused from all the contradicting posts/comments I've read up on.

Prime Resurgence was a 10-week event where two things happened:

1. A special resource named 'Aya' dropped, and you could trade Aya in Maroo's Bazaar for vaulted Void Relics.
2. You could buy a special currency named 'Regal Aya' that you could spend on vaulted Prime Accessories. This generally meant Prime Armors, Prime Syandanas, Prime Sigils, Prime Sugatras... that sort of thing. Cosmetic items. You could buy whole Prime bundles with Regal Aya, but that was kind of a waste to me compared to getting just the accessories (then again, I had most of the Primes already).

There was a weekly rotation of which Prime stuff they brought back. 8 weeks of that rotation, then two 'grand finale' weeks where they had the goodies from weeks 1-4 and 5-8 respectively, but also ran Nyx Prime and Rhino Prime's accessories during those last two weeks.

Basically, what's likely to happen with this version of the event is that they're going to bring back vaulted stuff temporarily, on a rotation. The biggest draw, by far, was another shot at the Prime Accessories.

So.....

Downside to having so many weapons, cosmetics, and everything:

I now am in a position where I'm trying to do one burst of FashionFrame for everything I have and it took me several days just to handle the Warframes themselves. Now we're at a stage where I've still got weapons, companions, and vehicles to go - including using the sugatras and TennoGen skins I got - and I'm a bit overwhelmed.

I may embed a picture of the results I got for a few of my more-liked 'Frames like Nova, Excal, and Frost one of these days.


EDIT: I completed the companions, vehicles, heavy weapons... and then I counted up the rest. 107 melee weapons, 76 secondary weapons, and 106 primary weapons. That's a total of.... 289 weapons to recolor. Even if I did 3 a minute (which I can do if it's a recolor, easy) that's still over an hour and a half of just weapon appearance. I may belt it out tonight or tomorrow just to get this over with.

If you're gonna spend that much time on it, you'd might as well show us after!!

Also double post. I love Kahl. He's still a meathead and loves his guns, but he's also loveable instead of the traditional 'grizzled hardass' with zero soul or personality left.

But this update also bugged things up and it's annoying the heck out of me. Tried to do the quest in Deimos where you go into the vaults and it teleports me to a random vault and I miss out on the loot. Orb Vallis was a pain to get my familial debt bonds without glitches happening mid quest. Can't even do relic missions without bugs and enemies stop spawning entirely.

I can't wait for things to get patched up.

Dunno about you guys, but I'm just waiting for Duviri at this point... the Archons are kinda mid ngl, it shows how much DE should work or better said, REwork the bosses. They're either bullet sponges or take one hit and die.

Yeah, Archons have been both from my experience. The one time I asked, it was someone with a Knell that did the one-shotting.


I'm still waiting for them to redo the Phobos boss eventually. A Corpus sniper boss actually has a HUGE amount of potential.

It's not much, but Revenant Prime is here.

Along with Phantasma Prime and Tatsu Prime.

A very... strange thing happened with the relics. ALL of Revenant Prime's parts are off of Lith and Meso relics. In fact, there's only one Neo relic (Tatsu Prime's blade) and two Axi relics (Tatsu Prime's handle and Phantasma Prime's blueprint) involved in the whole set - and the item with the two rares is not Revenant Prime, but Phantasma Prime.

Usually there's a trend of having one relic of each tier for the parts needed to make a given item.

Also, no more relics for Nezha Prime, Guandao Prime, or Zakti Prime at this time. I have way too many of those left over anyhow.



....I THINK after Revenant we're going to get Baruuk Prime, and since Baruuk only has one signature weapon I speculate that is a chance at a primed Companion or perhaps we find another longtime Tenno weapon to Prime. I DON'T think that update will result in a primed Archgun as Hildryn would probably be right afterwards and a Primed Archgun better suits her.
